This bill modifies New York's correction law to expand temporary release eligibility for incarcerated individuals who complete judicially-ordered substance abuse treatment in state facilities. It allows these individuals to qualify for temporary release programs (like work release or community service) without requiring parole eligibility, provided they meet specific criteria. However, it explicitly excludes individuals convicted of sex offenses, violent crimes involving deadly weapons, or serious physical injury, and requires commissioner approval for certain cases. The policy change directly affects incarcerated people in New York state correctional facilities participating in substance abuse treatment programs.

The change becomes effective 180 days after the law is enacted.
